Question

4. “Margie thought he would not know how to put it together again.'
Whom do 'he' and 'it' refer to? Why did Margie not want 'it' to be put together
again?

​

Answer 1

The line “Margie thought he would not know how to put it together again” in Isaac Asimov’s story “The Fun They Had,” has two references.

The county inspector and the mechanical teacher stand for ‘he’ and ‘it’ in this sentence. Margie did not want the mechanical teacher to be put together again as it gave her homework and tests back to back which was not something that Margie liked.

Plus, the mechanical teacher took no time at all in calculating marks. This was also another reason why Margie didn’t want ‘it’ to be put together.
